Question

Ok, so I have no problem loading my ComboBoxes with data from my database and assigning it the correct ValueMember, but I need to concatenate “user_last_name” & “, ” & “user_first_name” so it displays better information than just a username. Hopefully this is just a simple fix, I

Private Sub loadMemberName()

    Dim memberSELECTSQLString As String =
        "SELECT * FROM user_tbl"
    Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter(memberSELECTSQLString, conn)
    Dim ds As New DataSet

    da.Fill(ds, "user_tbl")

    With memberComboBox
        .DataSource = ds.Tables("user_tbl")
        .DisplayMember = "user_username"
        .ValueMember = "user_id"
        .SelectedValue = -1
    End With
End Sub

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Concatenate it in your sql and send back the alias, then reference the alias in your combo box
